It’s working side by side both students and teachers—and being involved, some- what or totally. But most of all, it’s sharing a unity with friends that finds the fulfillment of hopes and dreams— together. Together we lived, a small part of the whole, touched by its endless changes ... we offered aid to those with needs, experienced the state cuts in educa- tion, battled our opponents, and sur- vived sub-zero weather. To be a part of NHS is to encounter companionship, achievement, and a frenzy of activities- a totally unique combination of persons, moods, and ideas. ’84 will always remain a part of each life and each will remember the memories of its passing ... forever. Friends What is a friend? Who really knows? Many people have their own opinions of what “friend really means. According to WEBSTER'S DIC- TIONARY. a friend is, ... I. a person whom one knows well and is fond of: intimate associate: close ac- quaintance 2. a person on the same side in a struggle: one who is not an enemy or foe: ally 3. a supporter or sympathizer ...” To some people a friend is someone to share secrets with, to have a good time with, to talk with, to complain with, or even just to be quiet with for a change. A friend is one who comes in when the whole world has gone out. He stands beside his friend through thick and thin. One can always trust and rely on a friend because a friend is always there—everybody needs to have a friend ... but, as Waldo Emerson once said, The only way to have a friend is to be one.” Jennifer, Christy, and Cindy enjoy a lunch together at the Dairy Queen.

Routine Hello, this is Rob Johnson of the Rob Johnson show on KLOR. Wake up!” Does this phrase sound familiar? If not, what about the sound of an alarm clock buzzing, a mother yelling, the smell of breakfast cooking, or even a cold glass of water being splashed in your face? These were just some of the ways NHS students woke up each school morning. Taking showers, washing hair, shaving faces, putting on make- up, styling hair, brushing teeth, and doing last minute homework ... all were a part of the '83-84 A.V1. Rou- tine. Routines arc a part of many people’s lives. They arc very useful. Without routines people would find it difficult to slay organized. What are some of your morning routines?

Alice Stu-Co Makes ’83-’84 Year Terrific As always Student Council made this year at NHS a terrific one! There will be many good memories to recall . .. memories of assemblies and activities that required a lot of hard work by dedicated Stu-Co members and offi- cers, not to mention an important per- son, their sponsor. The first assembly that was sponsored by Stu-Co was “Birds of Prey. Stu- dents learned many different facts about eagles, hawks, and owls. Three new assemblies that were pre- sented to us this year were the panto- mine act. the escape artist, and the champion frisbee team, which were all very interesting. Homecoming week and teacher appre- ciation week were also successful. Stu-Co was full of spirit for homecom- ing and everyone showed their appre- ciation for teachers during teacher ap- preciation week. The needy food drive was held on Thanksgiving instead of Christmas and everyone participated with enthu- siasm for giving to those who were not as fortunate as some. The compilation of a student directory was an ingenious money-raiser as well as being valuable and convenient. An- other profitable money-raiser was the Christmas candy cane messages bought and sent to various students throughout the school. The annual Christmas dance and Sa- die Hawkins activities and dance were again sponsored and organized by Stu- Co. The events were filled with excite- ment and energy as everyone enjoyed the games of Sadie Hawkins and fun of the dances. The powderpuff football games were an annual Stu-Co sponsored event in which the girls got a chance to “tough it out on the football field. Students got a glimpse of the way a computer can match up people that have similar interests when the Stu-Co promoted a computer match- a new idea from Stu-Co. Stu-Co has been a great organization within our school that really works to make school a lot more fun. Thanks, Stu-Co, for making 1983-84 an excit- ing year at NHS! 8 Student Council Newkirk High School Newkirk, Oklahoma 74647 Forever More ... ’84 A hawk proudly displays his wingspan to fascinate students and faculty.

For some students the release bell meant rushing home to get ready for work: for others it meant heading home to crash on the couch. Only Fridays were different. Fridays were, among other things, days for games, days for Ponca City, and days for cruisin’. Whether people went home, to work, to the game, or to Ponca, the 3:30 bell meant the beginning of something different . .. work to earn money for school activities, practice to strive for perfection, study to make the grade, or cruisin' to win someone's affection.

Each year school begins in a whirl- wind of fashion and styles that come and go. '84 was the year of class and “prep” with the latest things from blue jeans to valley-girl dresses. Classy haircut wanted? The bi-level was the one haircut most worn. Many girls had their ears pierced three times to be one of a crowd. Tops took on an imaginative appear- ance with long sweat shirts, double layered shirts, concert T-shirts, and OP shirts. Ties, bow ties, and ban- danas were worn as extras for a cre- ative look to those everyday outfits. Jeans were the most common mode of dress, but baggies and straight-legs came in as close seconds. For those on the go. the assortment of shoes was varied as the old styles stayed and new styles arrived such as short boots. Nikcs, Vans shoes, and Chucka boots. ’84 was the year that certainly began, progressed, and ended with distinc- tion. NHS . .. a school that dresses with class—“From Head tq Toe!

The purpose of this club was to promote and encourage interest in science and to provide ex- tra curricular activities and exper- iences. It also provided an interaction between students and various specific organizations, professional personnel, and other science-oriented students. SCION (Science Organization of Newkirk) was open to all juniors and seniors who enrolled in high school science classes; students who were not enrolled could become mem- bers by application and two-thirds vote of active members at a regular club meeting. The officers for the 1983-84 SCION were Tara Anderson—president; Yvette Madrigal—vice-president; Amber Madrigal—secrctary trea- surer; and Mike Lobsinger—report- er. Many field trips were scheduled by the science club organization. They visited the Chaplin Nature Center, the Wichita Zoo, St. Joesph Medical Center in Wichita, and the Sooner Generating Plant. All in all, the first year was a success. Good work, SCION! R.J. displays his science fair project. First Row: Troy Rouse, Laurie Williamson, Tom Gage, R.J. Testerman, Gale Venosdel.

All was not lost in the exhaustion, however, as the squad spirited the teams to victory with a snake dance down Main Street, cheek cheers and ribbons, and a dance for basketball and wrestling homecomings. The reinstated pep club provided help with the homecoming float, and, of course, with the cheering. Dance routines were also a part of the plan as performances to “Beat It,” “Cum on Feel the Noizc,” “Thriller,” and “Fantasy” were made. This last year was a good year... lots of fun, lots of good times, lots of cheering. The cheerleaders, aided by the pep club, cheer during the homecoming parade. Ready .. . okay!

Growing by Sharing Because the 1983-84 Newkirk FFA members were involved in numerous activities, the year proved to be an exciting one. Serving as officers for the FFA Chap- ter were Paul Childers—president; Gary Vap—vice-president; David Vap—secretary; Bart Aupperle— treasurer; Gina Lake—reporter; and Kirk Fitch—sentinel. Throughout the year, the FFA at- tended many local shows, learning to wash and sheer lambs and steers. Sophomores learned how to lead and numerous others took part in the yearly land judging contest. They also exhibited animals at Lawton, Tulsa, and Oklahoma City. In addition to these shows, the Newkirk FFA once again hosted the Annual Kay County Livestock Show, where thirty-five Newkirk entries won admission to the blue ribbon sale. The Newkirk Chap- ter also participated in National FFA week. For money raisers the Chapter held a sausage sale (while everyone asked, Where’s the Beef?”) and had a breakfast for the Takedown Club.

And, in addition to all the usual hap- penings, the band engaged in some- thing new—it became a “pit band performing at the school's musical “Rock Hop.

They participated in a number of events, including district (where they received a II) and Tri-State. Shirts worn for a variety of occasions were purchased by individual mem- bers, and as a fund raiser for other events, the chorus sponsored a jewelry sale. A musical “Rock Hop,” the first in Newkirk for many years, was initiat- ed and produced—quite successfully, we might add!—by Mrs. Miller, the newly hired music teacher. The show was presented to all Newkirk students and faculty and to the public. Another original was begun by Mrs. Miller—out of school chorus for those who couldn’t “fit” chorus into their regular schedules. Last year for chorus was fun, excit- ing, and ... memorable.

The 1983-84 junior high cheerleaders started the year off early as they at- tended a cheerleading camp at OSU during the summer. While there, they earned the spirit stick and received ribbons for their outstanding achieve- ments. Besides cheering for football, basket- ball, and wrestling, they sponsored the athletic dance for the junior high athletes. The fund-raiser the cheer- leaders had was the selling of raffle tickets, which was quite successful. Last year for the cheerleaders was spirited, rewarding, and profitable. They brightened the spirits of our athletes and received many re- wards—all as cheerleaders at NJHS. Tonya, Shelley, and Ann pass out candy as they cheer during the homecoming parade.

Kansas 67005 Sr. Sweetheart Gina Lake Sweet Times Gina cleans her steer up during the stock show week. Annually, the Newkirk FFA crowns a queen to reign over the Chapter the following school year. Last year’s Sweetheart was Gina Lake, who also served as the Chapter’s reporter. She was crowned by former president. Matt Kail, at the spring FFA ban- quet. Being involved in FFA, Gina showed her steer at Newkirk’s yearly stock show. She also attended the North West District Leadership Conference and participated in the State Sweet- heart Contest during the Oklahoma State Fair. A busy year for Gina; a busy year for FFA. Gina and her horse lead the homecoming parade with pride. Walking Proudly Once again, the annual band carnival culminated in the crowning of two new queens—one junior high, the other senior high. Jennifer Patterson, crowned as junior high queen, received the traditional kiss ... and received the traditional kiss ... and received the traditional kiss—for what seemed like an hour. And after a kiss like that, her crown fell off. Marythe Perez, crowned as the senior high queen, provided something dif- ferent for the event. Never before had Newkirk had a foreign exchange stu- dent reign as queen.

Sever- al Tiger players were injured and missed, but in the end the team came out winners. The three district games proved to be exciting. The first district game was played against Drumright on a cold, rainy night. Winning the game in overtime, they moved on to the second district game against Pawnee. Put- ting out their their best offensive plays, the Tigers won again moving them one notch closer to winning the district champs. Never giving up through a tough game, the Tigers won by one point. The Tigers were now district champs. Even though the Tigers lost their first playoff game, they were still consid- ered winners by the fans and the Ti- ger coaches. At the end of the season Coach Culwell was quoted saying, “They drained every ounce of talent they had and put it on the field. Not all at the same time, sometimes, but they wanted to be winners and that’s what they were!” Town and Country Cycles, Inc. 209 N. First Street Ponca City, Oklahoma 74601 Practice makes perfect!

Coach Bell- mard, feeling the team should have improved to its potential by the end of the year, hoped that all members of the team worked to be winners and had reached the success they had planned. In the season’s opener the team fell to Perry when they wrestled them at home, 15-54. They overtook Cushing, came out overall winners of the Cres- cent Quad, and placed second and third in the Tonkawa and Watonga tournaments, respectively. Home- coming was uplifting to the team, as they bombed Blackwell 40-26. The flu outbreak was both an advan- tage and disadvantage to the Tiger wrestlers; Morrison cancelled a match due to the flu and later Tonkawa defeated the Tigers, some of whom were out because of the flu, 18-38. Conference and regionals proved to be learning experiences for the Ti- gers; however, five state qualifiers ad- vanced as a result of these prelimi- naries; Dean Summitt—190, Toby Schieber—157, Brett Stephens— 115, Mike Hasselbring—130, and Kyce Goodno—168.

Gradually putting together an improving team over the past two years, the learning process and effort began last year with a 6-15 season. Retaining the knowledge and keeping up the good work, the basketball team was 9-1 in the Tonkawa Summer League. The real test came in the ’83-’84 sea- son. Combining desire, effort, knowl- edge, and skill, they performed at the games the way they knew they could. Overall, the basketball team played their games well and ended the season 20-4 with several games going into overtime. They received a first place trophy at the Glencoe Tournament after rally- ing with Ralston in one of the over- time games. Coach Levetzow was quoted at the end of the season as saying, “I'm ex- tremely pleased with these young men and wish them the best of luck in their futures as I know they will suc- ceed because they found out the meaning of winning and they will continue it into their futures.” Lloyd takes an easy two points.

The girls began with a very exper- ienced offensive end, but the defense only sported one returning starter. However, for being inexperienced, the defense did well and led the con- ference with the least points given up. The Lady Tigers’ defense was also rated seventh in the state. Disappointments also plagued the Lady Tigers throughout the year. In the DCLA Tournament, they re- ceived the second place trophy when they heartbreakingly lost to Perry in the finals. They brought home a third place trophy in the Glencoe Tourna- ment after losing to Morrison, who went on the win the tourney, by only two points. Then in the third round of regional playoffs, the Lady Tigers fell to Fairview after putting up a strong battle. The Lady Tigers were again confer- ence champs and finished conference play with a 7-1 record; their overall record was 18-9. Next year the Lady Tigers hope to bounce back to win the conference title again. Michelle displays a defensive stance.

The boys, on the other hand, had many out for the sport. Because of the educational budget crunch, the track teams were allowed to attend only three meets each, in- cluding conference, where the girls ranked fourth and the boys picked up a second.

This money they added to their class account, which already contained class dues, $20 per student. Foreseeing the upcoming two years, the sophomores did well to collect and save money that will be needed for those extremely important future events.

They led the other underclassmen, re- ceived advantages the underclassmen didn’t, and set fads and ideas for their peers. The ninth grade class of 1983-84 was quite large; it had great participation and much enthusiasm from the stu- dents. The freshmen moved into the usual swing of things last year by, first of all, concentrating on collecting class dues. They then focused their atten- tion on raising money for the future with an extremely successful candy- sale. Participation and enthusiasm is what makes a class great, and last year’s ninth graders had these good quali- ties. Jill. Judy, and an unidentified ninth grader work on the homecoming float.

They had experiences with the home- coming activities, which was why they won first place in the junior high float division. The eighth graders also collected class dues, which will be an annual obligation throughout their high school years. They participated in different other activities such as yearbook contests, Sadie Hawkins events, a homecoming skit, and also parent attendance during open house (which they won). Adjustments were made and exper- ience was gained to give the eighth grade an extra special and exciting year. Certain eighth graders arc found doing what they do best—goofing off!

They grew accus- tomed to finding their ways around the school, changing classes every hour, enjoying after-school activities, and developing different study habits. After the seventh graders learned their ways around the school, junior high life wasn’t as bad as they had thought it might be. They got in- volved in sports, band, and many oth- er fun activities. Some learned about student offices—the responsibility it takes to lead a class and make deci- sions. The seventh grade homecoming float featured seventh graders dressed as Newkirk Tigers and Star Wars char- acters battling it out. The float re- ceived no prize, but the seventh grad- ers gained valuable experience for future use. Next year’s eighth graders should be more knowledgeable in preparing for the school activities because of their experiences last year.

Held at the Mar- land Mansion, the grand march be- gan at the top of the staircase and ended in the banquet room, where the couples were announced. Customary presentations were made and Mr. Chaney provided the ode to the sen- iors. Montra, Deena and their dates enjoy snacks at the prom The food was served buffet style, and the patio doors were opened so that the couples could take walks under the stars. Because of past prom-night tragedies, an after-prom party and breakfast was sponsored by several junior and senior parents and held in the Catho- lic gym. Everything from music to volleyball to omelets was provided and the night was considered a suc- cess. Prom night ’84, an evening of new ideas, maybe some that will be- come old traditions. Volleyball is the main attraction at the after-prom party. Iitn v Bart and Jamie dance to the sound of the “Imposters. Gary Vap, senior president, thanks the juniors for hosting the prom.

Seventh Street Newkirk, Oklahoma 74647 Worlds of Fun “I must be crazy; it’s 3:30 in the morning!” This thought was on the minds of sev- eral seniors as they began May 13 at the Newkirk Cafe eating breakfast. Next came boarding the bus at 4:30 a.m., leaving at 5:00 a.m., and arriv- ing at 10:00 a.m.—right on schedule. On the road, the buses stopped at Hardee's to quench the thirsts of many seniors. This early morning led the seniors on their way to Worlds of Fun for their senior trip. Several favorite rides were the “Ori- ent Express,” “EXT” (standing roll- er-coaster) and the water log ride. The day was filled with fun as the seniors spent their last fun day to- gether. The excitement of the day didn’t end at the Showbiz Pizza place. The sen- iors played video games, played the kiddie ball cage, watched the Big Screen TV, and ate, ate, ate. The ride home provided a chance to rest and reminisce ... rest from the busy routine of being a senior and reminisce about the good times of’83- ’84. Tonya and Ginger enjoy a day at Worlds of Fun.

The big event was held in the gymnasium. All of the seniors wore identical blue caps and gowns as they participated in the traditional ceremony. During the ceremony, Dr. Joe Struckle spoke to the seniors and audience in a light- hearted but serious manner. Other happenings were Cass Midgley sing- ing “Out Here On My Own” and the choir singing “Flying Free.” As the seniors walked across the stage to receive their diplomas, both sad- ness and joy filled their hearts. They remembered the past and thought of the future. The last thing the entire class of '84 will ever participate in together was the changing of the tas- sels from the left side to the right. This was led by class president Gary Vap. The class of '84 will no longer be a part of Newkirk High School, but Newkirk High School will always be a part of the class of '84—forever more ... '84.

The nominations were made; the votes were taken, but problems arose when it came to tallying the seniors’ votes; this was caused by ties in sever- al of the categories. Numerous re- votes along with several recountings were needed for the completion of this feature. Finally, the votes were all tallied; the results were in; and the twelve seniors were selected . . .

Injuries such as these brought a closeness to the class. Money problems were also present throughout the year. A raffle was held to help the class but back-fired and put them in need of more money. The class officers at- tempted to remedy this situation by selling can- dy, and a chicken and noodle dinner also helped.
